Labour lead up to 4 points in the latest Ipsos poll. (And congrats to them for using error bars - all pollsters should do this).

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Electoral Commission stats that dropped earlier show how reliant Reform is on foreign cash. In Q2 they topped the donations table. But without £4m from HK-based British crypto-bro Ben Delos they would have raised less than the Lib Dems.

Ever wonder how Reform so far have got away with it & claim massive air space, while Lib Dems, despite having 72 MPs, don’t so much hit the headlines? Follow the money. Graphic from Guardian piece by Rowena Mason. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable.
Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.

Yes, Iceland are an independent sovereign state. Who also happen to be in the Single Market, the EEA and the Schengen zone, with freedom of movement for people, goods and services. But if the UK did that I'd be screaming about Brexit betrayal and being an EU puppet.

Such a wonderful evening at the #bbcproms with the amazing Joyce diDonato singing Mahler and the expressive and very responsive Met Opera orchestra on a European tour. Some of the string section were excited enough to be at their first Prom that they were posing for photos at the interval. #mahler

Reform UK PIP changes: Reform UK MPs vs Old Tory MPs
Farage, Pochin, Anderson, Tice,
vs
Jenrick, Braverman, Rosindell, Kruger
Having reviewed PIP data and mapped it against Reform UK constituencies, and weighted for working age claimants, it's clear that there is a divide between them.

Say goodbye to those mobility scooters, people of Clacton.
Multi-millionaire Nigel Farage is taking your PIP away, as 5 million pounds bulges out of his pockets.
